Traventhal House

Traventhal House is a manor in northern Germany redesigned in the late 19th century with historicist features. The buildings sit on sprawling grounds with garden elements that reflect its former role as a residential estate.

The estate originated as a summer residence for the dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön during the 18th century and expanded over time. After the Duchy of Plön ended in 1761, the property underwent major transformations that shaped its current form.

The name references the valley setting along the Trave waterway in the Stormarn region. The property and gardens bear traces of how local nobility shaped and inhabited these grounds over time.

The property is located near Bad Segeberg in eastern Schleswig-Holstein and is reachable by car or public transport. Visitors should note that ground conditions and access may vary depending on the season and weather.

A copper engraving by G. Heumann from 1760 preserves the original appearance of the estate before its late-century reconstruction. This document reveals how different the Baroque architecture looked compared to its later reinterpretation.
